Description

We call us NoSmokeNearZurich because we really only want to host nonsmokers. Some guests went for a walk well away from the house whenever they had to smoke, and that was ok for us.

! Please be so kind and send me a message to introduce yourself before you book, thank you! If you have found us via this website then we also expect that you book via this site. We won't try to contact you directly.

In our house in Maur near Zürich we have two guestrooms for travellers. Our old house is very basic and worn out. There are some steep stairs that may be a problem for heavy people. We all share the same bathroom, and nobody smokes inside. The house is not suitable for everybodys taste, but many artists and creative people have felt quite well here during their stay with us. If you are coming with an expensive car, then it is almost sure that you won't like it at our place.

You will get a clean room with freshly made beds. We also give fresh towels. However we do not iron our washings. The rest of the house is often a bit caotic.

Maur is still a farming village, 35 minutes by tram and bus from the main train station of Zurich (12km east, at a lake opposite of Uster)

Local attractions
- pretty village with 4 restaurants and small castle of XII century
- 5 minute walk through the fields to the lake, or 4 hours around it
- free Internet access at PC in room and open wireless (if it works)
- bicycles that need to be repaired first

House rules

- Use the shower reasonably as supply of hot water has to last for all.
- No smoking inside the house, also not at the open window.
- Pets by arrangement.
- Please be so kind and send me a message to introduce yoursefl before you book, thank you

Best is you come to us without car, because the neighbour has a fence that had been repaired many times for a lot of money and that has cause car repairs for even more money.

Reviews of this property

We found the apartment to the second house number Kehl Hofstraße 518. The number 8 did not know our somewhat older Navi. So good that the 518 stood. For this double number had something irritates me.
We were received directly from the owner and had at first sight a good feeling. Reinhard showed us to our room on the 1st floor. That was a little journey into childhood for me. Just smelled with my grandparents - to kitchen, smokehouse and garden.
We ate breakfast tried to ground itself and manually coffee in the kitchen of the house and with recommendation! Turkish infused - with this mealy fur on the tongue and the fresh aroma. Man, I had not ever! So there was the coffee in the 70s home with my parents. A nice suggestion for us to look for a hand mill.
Throughout our stay, interesting conversations with Elisangela and Reinhard were. A tenant came over helpx just returned from a trip around the world into the house and was bubbly cheerful full of stories ...
From my partner I got kudos that I had found this amazing hotel. I am happy to pass on the landlord.
In Maur we have a very nice trail found at Greifensee, an alternate swimming area at the jetties and the cruise on the Greifensee we can recommend with a huge piece of cake pan. Only the coffee on board - you prefer to drink only if you like instant stuff ...
The close-lying forest, we would have liked to hiked. And the next time we make sure the trip to Zurich ... So we would definitely come back.
With many thanks and regards
Michael and Christiane

We spent 3 days of guests Reinhard and Liza. The apartment was basic but very clean and they had plenty of atmosphere. The friendliness of Liza and Reinhard is second to none, and we enjoyed the days in Zurich very much. The common evening with about 10 people was wonderful. We are happy to come back!

We had it good here. I realize that this property is not for everyone to play. Eg. have no desire to clean up, but accept as it is !. But do it just for the sense and move the seat as road you do not want. We stirred up a bit by using waxine lightly. That made the Christmas extraordinarily charming and warm! Reinhard and his wife are generous, generous, forthcoming. And the setting right on the lake is beautiful. train - and bus service excellent. Overall, we had it right here!

Reinhard and Elisangela were wonderful hosts and I spent a nice time in and with them. Exciting and humorous conversations with them, nestled in a rustic + special house in a beautiful setting on the lake, have made my stay in very informal atmosphere for a lasting memory.
